Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies.

The Valley of Fear (1914/5) is the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel. Here a fraternal organization in an American mining community is used as a front for terrorist activities against mine owners, and the efforts to bring them down result in a murder in England years later. The Valley of Fear is also notable for being one of the only two instances in the Sherlockian canon Professor James Moriarty is mentioned.

This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
